Now Playing: Rock on By David Essex.
Topic: General Diatribes

There's a reason I don't like to have the computer on when I get home from work! It's because one thing leads to annother & before I know it hours have disappeared, I had asked Lois to leave the computer up for me so I could check my email, I had written emails to a couple of people in regard to the vacation we're about to go on 7/10 & wanted to see if I'd gotten responses, well, I had new comments on the light blog so I had to go see what they were & that led to the reminder that I have so few entries here where I promised myself to be honest & not edit myself & of course I had to go see how it was going at Micheles, & check other friends' blogs, Ann blogs so seldom I'd hate to miss an entry! At that point I figure I might as well play some music because I can't stand the show they're watching in the next room. Like I said, one thing leads to annother & before I know it it is 1 am & I have to go to work in the morning!
I knew I wanted to get online this morning when I got to work & found my purse was full of bottle caps, I'm saving those silly diet coke caps from the 20 oz bottles & I can never keep up with entering the codes I collect, mostly because you can only enter 10 a day from the coca cola website & because I drink at least 3 on work days, I feel a little sillly saving them but I did once 10 years ago, or so, save all the pepsi points they printed on the labels, (it wasn't me drinking the pepsi, I'm a diet coke fan all the way) but my ex loved pepsi & so I had the bottles lying all over the house anyway, No, I'm not kidding, he left them everywhere, used to drive my Grandmother nuts (we lived with her back then) I saved them, sent them away & got a pretty cool Pepsi denim jacket, the only way you could tell it was a Pepsi product was the buttons & the tag inside, no awful labels or anything on the back, I wore it to pieces, the first 3 years at my job I wore it fall & spring really I pretty much wore it until the weather hit the 30 degree range. The chairs I hung it on at work wore the denim away across the back of the jacket finaly & I got rid of it about a year & a half ago. I'm hoping for annother similar find thru Coca Cola this year. After all, I'm rotting my guts with the soda anyway, I might get something besides the caffeine out of it. I was giving some thought to limiting my caffeine intake sometime in the near future, but of course I have to drive to Mass in annother week, I'll never make it without caffeine, as a matter of fact I discovered an old 'friend' on the way up there with Chrissie a few weeks ago, got a box of Vivarin at Sheetz & found in spite of all the soda I'm drinking regularly it definitley put a kick in me. I used to, when I was young & had no kids & it didn't matter how big of a bitch I was, take 2 or 3 to get through a Friday night at the Pizza place I worked at in Haverhill. I remember I'd end up grinding my teeth like I'd taken something stronger!
I'm going to try to exersize some restraint & quit now for the night. I think, maybe I'd better see what's going on on Jody's myspace....
